In the northern part of Jing Kingdom, in a stone palace on a hidden peak in the Black Mist Mountains.
Elder Wang, who has thick eyebrows and yellow hair and is dressed in a gray robe, is sitting cross-legged doing exercises to nurse his injuries.
"not good!"
His expression suddenly changed, and he took out a colorful picture of a purple-robed Taoist from his storage bag.
Tsk~
The portrait of the Taoist on the scroll flashed with purple flames, rising into green smoke, and quickly dimmed into a dead gray.
It's like a longevity picture.
"How can this be?"
Elder Wang's expression was stunned. After a brief shock, his more emotional emotion was not anger, but total coldness.
Silent fear and uneasiness.
The escape speed of the Nascent Soul spirit body is several times that of the same level.
Often, one has to be in the Nascent Soul stage and have higher cultivation or supernatural powers to destroy them.
As for the Yuanying below, it is difficult to retain the spirit body Yuanying, and the speed is not on the same level.
Unless the top true alchemy cultivators teamed up to lay out an ambush and cooperated with the soul treasure, Master Lihuo fell into it rashly.
The latter is unlikely, as it is difficult for a true elixir monk to ambush the Yuanying stage with keen senses.
In this case, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of effort, and the noise is definitely not small, and the news can be easily obtained afterwards.
Elder Wang actually knows that there is another possibility...that is, the seizure of the body fails!
Master Lihuo's Nascent Soul is weak, so if he attempts to seize the body and form an elixir to do a major cultivation, for example, if he attacks Elder Wang, he may fail.
But the Nascent Soul will not be destroyed and it can still retreat.
Unless the pill-forming Daxiu whose body was taken away has a powerful soul and his methods are far superior to Elder Wang.
"Master's plan is only for the early stage of seizing the true elixir of body, and will not focus on the later stages of elixir formation..."
Elder Wang looked pale and shook his head in denial.
No matter what the situation is, it is not something that the current defeated Lihuo Palace team can resist.
"Feng'er!"
Elder Wang thought of something and immediately took out a soul lamp from his storage bag.
The soul lamp flickered steadily.
call!
Elder Wang breathed a sigh of relief, the worst case did not happen.
If all the young and old are destroyed.
I'm afraid there is really no hope for Lihuo Palace to rise again.
"I am the only one who knows about Master's death. This matter must be concealed as much as possible, as long as it can be delayed..."
Elder Wang knew very well that if the monks in the Lihuo Palace team knew the truth, it would be a big blow to morale and people's hearts would easily disperse.
Fortunately.
Only their grandfather and grandson knew about Master Lihuo's plan to possess Wang Feng.
Find the murderer?
Never act rashly!
At best, the investigation can only be carried out in a low-key manner, without any publicity or being too serious.
Otherwise, you may dig a hole to bury yourself.
"The horse has to be reined in when it reaches the cliff."
Elder Wang took a deep breath and suppressed his desire to get to the bottom of the matter and avenge the Supreme Elder.
For the current precarious Lihuo Palace, if it can't contain it, it will surely perish.
To take revenge, I'm afraid I have to wait until the day when Lihuo Palace is revitalized.
In fact, Elder Wang has a major suspicion deep in his heart.
That man had amazing luck, strong fighting skills, and extremely hated Lihuo Palace.
The real fire demonic flames it possesses are the best among all countries, and have the effect of restraining the spirit body Nascent Soul!
…
In the secret room of Qiufeng Island.
One person and one mouse opened their eyes wide, looking at the storage ring that broke the restriction.
The space inside the storage ring is not much larger than that of an ordinary storage bag.
After all, it is a space prop, and it needs to incorporate rare space treasure materials before it can be crafted.
The items in the storage ring were fewer than expected, but the spiritual treasures and the sense of oppression emanating from them made Lu Changan feel happy.
"Thousand-year soul-nourishing tree!"
One of the floating green spiritual trees immediately attracted Lu Changan's attention.
This is a legendary spirit tree, and it is a rare soul-like spirit tree. It is even rarer than spirit trees of the same level.
Lu Changan originally considered using the third-grade high-grade Ghost Bamboo as the embryo of his future natal magic weapon.
The soul-nurturing wood in front of us is as high as level 4, so it is a better choice.
Lu Changan took out the thousand-year soul-nurturing wood, and his soul felt inexplicably comfortable and comfortable, as if it was flowing through a hot spring.
Even the possession of the second life and the passage of soul power have been reduced by a few points.
Just this tree made Lu Changan overjoyed and his trip was worthwhile.
"Two Nascent Soul level magic weapons!"
Lu Changan then discovered a magic weapon that emitted powerful spiritual pressure.
Magical weapons are exclusive to monks above the elixir formation stage.
It is divided into low grade, medium grade, top grade and top grade.
The requirements for magic power and spiritual consciousness between each grade of magic weapon are very different.
Among them, low-grade magic weapons are suitable for fake elixirs and real elixirs for early use.
The use of fake pills consumes a lot of money and is difficult to last.
Medium grade, suitable for mid- to late-stage use of true elixirs.
Top grade, the best magic weapon, usually used in the early and middle stages of Nascent Soul.
Unless you have deep magic power and strong spiritual consciousness, you can use stronger magic weapons across levels, and this will consume a lot of money.
Above the magic weapon, there is the spiritual treasure.
Lingbao, corresponding to the level of deity transformation and above, is basically extinct in the world of immortality.
Even if they appear occasionally, most of them are imitations, or broken spiritual treasures or fragments of spiritual treasures.
The two magic weapons in Master Lihuo's storage ring are a cyan braided rope and a purple gourd.
The braided rope magic weapon is a top-grade magic weapon. Master Li Huo used it in the previous battle. It turned into a smart thunder snake whip and almost entangled Lu Changan.
Purple gourd is the best magic weapon of the fire system. It is valuable to the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Master Lihuo did not use the stronger gourd magic weapon for two reasons:
First, his initial goal was to capture Lu Changan alive and investigate the secrets.
Secondly, it is very difficult for a monk in the foundation-building stage of possession to control the braided rope of a high-grade magic weapon.
Although his spiritual consciousness is sufficient, his magic power is far behind.
If it had not been refined through sacrifice and had been cultivated for many years, it would have been difficult to control it with any other magic weapon if it had the remaining magic power.
"The main elixir-forming medicine is Seven-Star Xuanyue Grass!"
"Not bad, not bad! We have gathered the ingredients for the Crystal Condensation Pill..."
"Hey! Little moving talisman!"
Among more than a dozen third-level talismans, Lu Changan found two special talismans.
Its material is not like ordinary talisman paper, it has the texture of jade. In addition to the complex runes, there are traces of translucent silver patterns on the surface.
Speaking of little nudges.
Back then, Li Hai, Liang Shaotian's eldest disciple, used this talisman to escape when he was in front of the Qingming Secret Realm, and when Mr. Wang was being hunted by the Demon Cult.
Small moving symbols are usually third or fourth level.
For higher grades, the word "small" must be removed.
The two small teleportation talismans currently reach the third level of high quality. Theoretically, they can escape from the hands of overhauls in the later stages of pill formation.
However, the small movement talisman also has certain shortcomings. It is suitable for running away, but it is not suitable for chasing enemies.
Because it is a space-like talisman, it is unstable, cannot control distance by itself, and is not precise enough in direction.
For example, if the enemy ran away five or six miles away, he could use the small teleportation charm to instantly escape dozens of miles away.
Coupled with the imprecise direction, the chase is getting further and further away.
"What a brilliant refining technique!"
Lu Changan looked at these two small moving talismans and sighed to himself.
There are too many types of talismans, and each talisman master will only be able to master some talismans in his lifetime.
The small moving talisman is the talisman that Lu Changan failed to conquer in his previous life, mainly because of the lack of opportunities to practice his skills.
At the third level of Talisman Master, materials are too scarce, whether they are Talisman embryos, Talisman pens, or spiritual ink.
Small moving symbols require space materials, which are several times more demanding.
In his previous life, Lu Changan finally became a third-level high-grade Talisman Master, but he was not outstanding among the same level.
In this life, I walked the path of talismans again, cultivated and understood the treasure talismans, and verified the two aspects, so I gained more skills and experience.
"There are more than 20 bottles of third- and fourth-level elixirs, half of which are healing and cultivation types. It seems that they are preparations for rebuilding the body."
"Twenty or thirty kinds of third- and fourth-level medicinal herbs and minerals."
"There are more than a dozen high-grade spiritual stones, several hundred medium-grade spiritual stones... a total of more than 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
Lu Changan guessed that this was not all of Master Lihuo's belongings.
If it were him, he wouldn't put all his wealth on one foundation-building monk.
In case of encountering a strong enemy, it is easy for the Nascent Soul to escape after leaving the body, but it is difficult for the body in the foundation stage to escape.
Even so, this is Lu Changan's biggest gain in this life, or even in three lifetimes.
Just a top-quality magic weapon is worth more than an ordinary true elixir cultivator.
It's a pity that even if Lu Chang'an, the best magic weapon, is promoted to a true elixir, he won't be able to control it in a short period of time.
Moreover, the purple gourd magic weapon should be one of the Lihuo Palace Zongzong magic weapons, and it is obviously stolen goods.
"Fourth-level soul-nurturing wood, small moving talisman, seven-star Xuanyue grass, space storage ring...enough is enough, you can't be too greedy."
Lu Changan sorted out the trophies, handed some suspicious items to the rock rats, and took them to a farther place for destruction.
The Earth Rock Rat was rewarded with dozens of mid-grade spiritual stones and a third-grade spiritual fruit, and escaped happily.
…
In the secret room, Lu Changan pondered for a moment, and then entered the fourth generation of Jiuyin Monument to check the huge memory fragments of Master Lihuo.
Half a month later, Lu Changan shook his head.
Those memory fragments are too fragmented, without classification and association, and the useful memories are less than one ten thousandth.
This may be the reason why the Nine-Seal Monument swallowed up the Nascent Soul, crushed it into particles, and then disrupted its reorganization.
However, Lu Changan still found clues from it.
In a certain memory fragment, in an unknown location, Master Lihuo closed an underground palace and killed a group of strong men.
Master Lihuo was not injured at that time. It should have been the escape route left many years ago.
In addition, it was learned from Wang Feng's superficial memory that Master Lihuo handed over some of the important inherited resources to Elder Wang.
Elder Wang is the current manager of Lihuo Palace. Without the commitment of strategic resources, how can he retain those sect monks who were injured and retreated.
Cultivation pays attention to "wealth, partners, Dharma, and land".
Among them, "wealth" ranks first.
If you have enough "money", the latter three are not difficult.
This is also the reason why Lihuo Palace still has a chance to rise despite losing its spiritual vein dojo.
"That's it! If I don't resolve the cause and effect and transform Master Lihuo into reincarnation in his previous life, I won't be qualified to get involved in more. Otherwise, I will be overly greedy and easily miss important things."
Lu Changan no longer insisted, and would focus on cultivation and skills from now on, and would no longer spend a lot of time deliberately sifting through the huge and disorderly memory fragments.
…
Half a year has passed.
In the second life possessed by Lu Changan, the shadow of his soul has dissipated.
Inside the Nine-Seal Monument, the carvings of the second generation white-bearded old man were now dead silent, but slowly began to light up again under the nourishment of the soul.
Lu Changan estimated that it would actually take less than ten years.
Ten years lighted up, that was the early stage of foundation building.
Now in the later stage of foundation building, the soul has grown a lot.
Looking at the current trend, it will light up again in four to five years at most.
Before the possession disappeared in the second life, Lu Changan made talisman embryos from the third-grade high-grade ghost bamboo and drew eight third-grade talismans.
The remaining half of the Ghost Bamboo was found in Wang Feng's storage bag.
Because he got the fourth-level soul-nourishing wood, Lu Changan didn't have to worry too much and didn't have to save anything.
Since they were made from third-level high-grade spiritual bamboo, the eight treasure talismans refined this time performed exceptionally well, and two third-level top-grade talismans were refined.
The remaining six cards all start from the third-level mid-level, and are basically high-quality.
Ordinary talismans are equivalent to the magic blows of monks of the same level, but are not as powerful as the magic weapons controlled by the same level.
Therefore, the talisman is less dangerous to people of the same level; when encountering powerful monks of the same level, it may even cause a bit of a scratch.
Unless you win by quantity.
High-quality talismans are different. They are equivalent to a full-strength blow from a monk of the same level, and the threat is significantly increased.
"On that day, the eight treasure talismans consumed during the battle with Master Lihuo just made up for the gap. And the quality has been improved to a higher level!"
In the secret room, Lu Changan kept more than sixty treasure talismans at the same time.
The eight pictures in the center are all made from third-order high-grade spiritual bamboo, which has huge potential!
According to previous experience, it will not be a problem to cultivate all the yin to the third level, or even the top level.
Two of the treasure talismans are themselves high-grade third-level talismans. One day in the future, they may be expected to reach the fourth level!
"With my current cultivation level in the foundation building stage, I can hardly feel any progress in cultivating a third-level mid-to-high-grade treasure talisman!"
Lu Changan estimated that the effect would be more obvious after forming a pill and nourishing the third-level talisman with evergreen mana.
In addition, more than half of the treasure talismans were originally made from second-level high-grade spiritual trees. After being cultivated to third-level low-grade spiritual trees, they are basically unable to progress.
After all, the quality of raw materials is a hindrance.
Unless one has reached a very high level of cultivation, such as reaching the Nascent Soul and transforming into a god, then the lower-level treasure talismans may be cultivated, which may have the effect of "turning stone into gold".
…
Another two or three months passed.
Lu Changan will be one hundred and sixty years old.
At this time, Lu Changan and Wang Feng's last treatment agreement was less than half a month away.
For the past half year, Lu Changan has paid attention to the intelligence of Lihuo Palace through the "Wujiang Gate".
As a result, there was no news of the death of Zhenren Lihuo, and the outside world seemed to know nothing about it.
It is not difficult for Lu Changan to imagine that the current leader of Lihuo Palace suppressed the news to avoid disturbing the morale of the army.
Most of the monks in the Lihuo Palace were controlled by the Wujian Sect, and no one traced them to the Wufu Chamber of Commerce or Qingshawan.
Lu Changan was not surprised by this.
If the only Nascent Soul Lord in his force died mysteriously, would he dare to seriously investigate and take revenge?
If you don't pack up your bed and run away, it's considered a discovery of conscience.
Even if there is a suspect in Lihuo Palace, Lu Changan still has to be ranked low.
Lihuo Palace used to dominate a country and made many enemies.
Lu Changan has no grudge against Lihuo Palace, and even has a good relationship with Song Wenshu and Wang Feng, disciples of the sect, at least openly.
Mr. Wang has been out for half a year, collecting supplies and looking for physical bodies, and has come into contact with many monks.
Lu Changan has been dating Mr. Wang for several years. If he had malicious intentions, he would have done something to him long ago. Why wait until now?
As for seizing the body, there is even less motive.
Master Lihuo is the root of the heavenly spirit and has become the Nascent Soul.
How could he fall in love with Lu Changan, an old and mediocre Mu Linggen?
Even if you don't care about qualifications and age, the spiritual root attributes are not suitable.
Therefore, unless Lihuo Palace has opened God's perspective, or Lu Changan has an aura of hatred, he will be listed as the most suspicious target.
"The attitude of Lihuo Palace depends on whether Wang Feng dares to come for the last treatment."
Lu Changan sat quietly on the Diaoyutai.
The little leader of Wujianmen helps collect intelligence to determine whether Wang Feng went to Fairy City alone.
Now he has many life-saving cards, he has a small teleportation talisman, and he is not afraid of the injured Zhendan Daxiu coming to his door.
Seeing that the appointed time is getting closer and closer.
"Mr. Lu, there has been no sign of Wang Feng around Yunyan Fairy City recently."
On this day, Xing Peng emerged from the shadows in the house and reported recent intelligence.
"It seems that Wang Feng may be a little suspicious, or he may not dare to go out casually out of caution."
Since Wang Feng won't come to Fairy City, Lu Changan naturally doesn't have to go to the appointment.
…
Two days later.
An unexpected guest came to Qiufeng Island to visit Lu Changan.
"Friend Lu Dao, this is what Mr. Wang asked me to send you."
Shen Bixin wore a woman's skirt and a bamboo hat and a green gauze on her head to cover up her face, which had become more discolored over time.
Through the green gauze, Lu Changan could faintly see a pair of dark eyes and the outline of his beautiful facial features.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Shen has met Mr. Wang?"
Lu Changan received a banned jade box.
Shen Bixin's arrival is actually reasonable.
After Song Wenshu died in battle, Shen Bi cherished his flesh and blood and was regarded as the widow of Lihuo Palace.
When Wang Feng first sought medical treatment, Shen Bixin acted as the intermediary.
"I've never seen it before." Shen Bixin said in a calm tone, "That night, there was this thing on my bed. There was also a note from Mr. Wang, asking me to help deliver it."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Shen, for making a trip."
Lu Changan greeted him politely.
Although the two were old friends in the past, it was difficult for Lu Changan and the current widow to communicate in depth.
He maintained courtesy and sent Shen Bixin out of the mansion.
Back in the room, Lu Changan investigated and broke the restrictions on the jade box.
Inside the jade box, there is a third-level middle-grade spiritual wood.
There is a letter pressed at the bottom.
"...Wang broke his promise and couldn't come to the Xunxianfu Inn for the appointment. I hope fellow Taoist Lu will forgive you. The other half of the ghost bamboo was accidentally lost by Wang, so he used this complete third-level spiritual tree as compensation. The favor owed back then, Still valid."
In the letter, Wang Feng expressed his apology and brought an end to the transaction between the two.
The letter also mentioned: Wang Feng received the treasures of heaven and earth as a gift from his grandfather. Even if he is not treated once, it will not affect his foundation.
Lu Changan thought for a moment. Judging from the content of the letter, Wang Feng's reaction seemed to be normal.
Out of caution, he did not dare to go out at will, so he asked someone to write a letter telling Lu Changan that he could not come to the appointment.
If Wang Feng loses news, Lu Changan suspects that this person may be wary of him.
At the same time, this letter may not be without temptation.
After thinking for a while, Lu Changan took out a pen and paper and replied a letter.
"Thank you Mr. Wang for your reward. Mr. Lu deserves it..."
Very routine polite greetings, expressing recognition and appreciation for Mr. Wang.
At the end of the letter, Lu Changan gave his sincere blessings;
"May Mr. Wang achieve immortality as soon as possible and revive the Lihuo Palace!"
The most important reason why Lu Changan did not deal with Wang Feng that day was because it was related to Master Lihuo's wish.
Revitalize the Lihuo Palace, train Golden Elixir monks, find a stable mountain gate spiritual vein, and see the hope of returning to its peak.
Secondly, Wang Feng and Lu Changan have no grudges.
Killing him will not bring any benefits, nor can he reduce the risk. It will also affect Lu Changan's ability to fulfill Master Lihuo's wish, resolve the cause and effect, and achieve reincarnation in his previous life.
After writing the letter, Lu Changan summoned the Earth Rock Rat.
Shen Bixin was not flying very fast, so the Earth Rock Rat brought the letter over and asked him to help deliver it to Mr. Wang.
Lu Changan believed that Shen Bixin, as the widow of Lihuo Palace, was stationed in Jing Kingdom first and must have a way to communicate with her husband's sect.
…
Two months later.
On the northern border of Jing Kingdom, in a large courtyard of Xiuxianfang City.
Wang Feng was slightly moved after reading the letter in his hand, especially the sincere blessing at the end.
"Friend Lu Dao has a noble character, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his vitality to help me repair the foundation of my hidden wounds. I... actually have a little doubt about him?"
Wang Feng felt guilty in his heart.
The Supreme Elder died in Lihuo Palace, and currently only he and his grandfather know about it.
Before, he did not suspect Lu Changan himself.
Just a guess: Could Lu Changan be bribed?
For example, they provided intelligence information and cooperated with the plot set up by those behind the scenes to kill Master Lihuo's Nascent Soul.
In his mind, Lu Changan was at best an accomplice, so he was wary of him.
"Grandpa's analysis is correct, the biggest suspect is Liang Shaotian!"
Wang Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Afterwards, Lihuo Palace purchased Liang Shaotian's whereabouts during that period through Tianzhi Tower.
The answer is that Liang Shaotian is recuperating in seclusion.
Elder Wang believes that seclusion is just a cover!
As long as Liang Shaotian did not appear in public during that period, the suspicion could not be cleared.
One year before Master Lihuo died.
Liang Shaotian led a team to attack the Lihuo Palace team, causing casualties and having a fight with Master Lihuo.
Li Huoshang's injuries were even more serious, adding insult to injury. How could Liang Shaotian let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Liang Shaotian!"
Wang Feng secretly made up his mind to avenge his master and eradicate the demon sect when he achieves the Immortal Golden Elixir and is promoted to Nascent Soul in the future.
He has earth spiritual roots, which is better than Liang Shaotian's high-grade spiritual roots.
Liang Shaotian's conditions for forming elixirs back then were not ideal, and he could only form upstream true elixirs.
But he is now the only golden elixir seed and Nascent Soul seed in the sect, cultivating to maximize resources.
With his grandfather's strong support, as long as he achieves the Immortal Golden Elixir, he will be able to catch up with Liang Shaotian in the future!
